WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 6, 2013) — The National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) has set up a call center to assist with adjuster
licensing in the aftermath of the tornadoes that hit central Oklahoma in
May. Housed at the NAIC’s Central Office in Kansas City, the call center
will manage the overflow of insurance company/adjuster calls to the
producer licensing unit of the Oklahoma Insurance Department.

This partnership allows the Oklahoma department to more quickly license
out-of-state adjusters through the application of an emergency adjuster
license. Additional adjusters will allow claims to be processed more
quickly, resulting in faster recovery time for citizens who experienced
losses from the disaster.

“We are grateful for the NAIC’s assistance in facilitating the licensing
process for out-of-state adjusters,” said John D. Doak, Oklahoma Insurance
Commissioner. “This call center will be critical to the department’s efforts
to quickly and effectively help the policyholders in our state.”

“The collaborative spirit of the national system of state-based
regulation is strongest following a major disaster,” said Ben Nelson, NAIC
Chief Executive Officer. “We remain committed to providing resources and
assistance to the people of Oklahoma during this challenging time.”

Oklahoma adopted the provisions of the NAIC's Independent Adjuster
Licensing Guideline and is using the Uniform Producer Application for adjuster
licensing. The application can be accessed by companies and agents
using the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) and feeds directly
into the NAIC's State Based Systems (SBS) for processing.
